I just followed-up with my host for tomorrow. Get this - She has over $500 in sales before the show and has at least 12 people coming to the show:eek: !!! I'm so excited!!!

I just had a show yesterday that is already at $800 and she is sure it's going to close at $1,000!! I may have 2 $1,000 shows this month!!

I'm hoping for over $3,000 in sales!!:chef:

Oh, I forgot about that! Another thing for me to be excited about! Thanks!;)
 
YAY!! Send some good selling vibes my way! I had a show yesterday & came home with 1 order for $19.75!!!!!!!!! She assured me on Thursday that she had a bunch of people coming, naming at least 10 ladies names....uggg~1 showed up...I drove an hour each way too :(
 
That's awesome! What are you doing at your shows to get such high sales?

I had a show yesterday with a former consultant too. She had 5 people there but her show is already over $400. And she has a bunch more people that want to order.

On the other hand, the show I was supposed to have today called at about 5pm yesterday and cancelled because she said nobody could come. This is the one I was really looking forward to because I thought it could be my first $1000 show. She said that she has had $700-800 shows in the past. I was quite bummed out. She didn't really want to reschedule but she is collecting orders still for a catty show. Luckily, one of her guests that couldn't come had previously contacted me and booked a show!

I've had this happen to me many times. Luckily most of them came out okay w/the outside orders. It really does get depressing when it happens though! Here's sending vibes your way it closes good!
 
Wow that is great.

My SIL is having her first show this year for me and so far she has almost $400 in Outside Orders. So far the head count that have a confirmed yes is 17. So even in 2/3 of those show up I am HOPING for my first $1000 show. I love getting excited about shows. This will be my first show since Dec. 9th so I needed to start back up with a bang!

I really don't think I'm doing anything special at my shows. I always try to hit the big items, cookware, stoneware and SA. Then I just talk about the tools I'm using for my recipe. I had one person at the show yesterday order over $300 for herself. It tried to talk her into a show of her own, but she wasn't interested. I find that those who want shows don't buy much!

I'm sorry your show cancelled for today! I usually have a hard time w/attendance at weekend parties. Most of the people who came yesterday all worked together in the morning so they came for lunch! If the host has had big shows before, she will probably get those orders for you. I love those because they are a lot less work for us!;) !
